More Technically Incorrect

I translate this as his saying it was an extremely frightening experience that has had serious repercussions on his health.

He said that when the hang glider snapped, "my vision failed and I struggled hard against g-force to get my rescue out."

For the more technically minded, he added: "I flew a Moyes Litespeed rx4 with racing wires. With standard (thicker) wires the glider may have stayed together (although not built for 160+ km/h...and G-force probably above 7?)."

Other footage posted to YouTube shows the action both from Gjerde's perspective and from that of his audience. If anything, it increases one's fright as one watches.
